"Indeed, indeed! Uncle, I said Jun Lan is my great patron, the benefactor of my life."
Now, his anger from just now had vanished, his mind full of thoughts of following Jun Lan. No matter what Jun Lan says or asks of him in the future, he would comply without question!
On the other side, everyone in Jinsha Village was working diligently, knowing that the ti granted by the seventh-rank official was limited. The n in the village wished they could muster all their strength to finish the tasks in one go.
Ruan Mian organized the logistics well, significantly improving efficiency.
Not long after, the greenhouses on the farm stood one by one.
The underground heating paths were also dug, just waiting to collect more horse manure from the barracks.
anwhile, Ruan Mian had also brought plenty of vegetable and fruit seeds.
Most were seasonal or crops suitable for the temperature inside the greenhouse.
When they successfully sprouted the seedlings, everyone’s hopeful hearts seed to see light.
Each was overjoyed, spreading the good news: "We’ve grown them, we’ve grown them!!"
"The greenhouse is indeed effective! We’ve grown food!" The villagers, hearing this, rushed to the greenhouse. As they looked at the seedlings inside the glass house, they couldn’t help but beco excited.
"Miss Ruan, you are truly resourceful, having such a thod to ensure we don’t run out of food in this cold winter!!"
"Yes, Miss Ruan, you’re amazing!"
Ruan Mian smiled: "Relying on my strength alone, how could we achieve this? It’s all because everyone worked together tirelessly, unafraid of the cold."
Mr. Xue was also deeply moved and couldn’t help but express his thoughts.
"Everyone, just as Miss Ruan always says, no matter the adversity, as long as we work together with one heart, there’s always a way to survive! We can make our lives better and better."
These inspiring words indeed uplifted everyone.
Over these many days, everyone’s efforts had not been in vain. No matter who it was, everyone involved felt a sense of achievent.
Today, everyone found their als noticeably more delicious.
In addition to Ruan Mian secretly nurturing with Spiritual Spring water, these crops also had a shorter growing cycle than normal.
Everyone attributed this success to the greenhouse and the extra fertilizer she had prepared.
This news quickly spread across Wuheng, with everyone saying that, in the bitter cold, when no one else could grow crops, their Jinsha Village thought of a greenhouse solution to maintain temperature and grow food.
Naturally, this news also reached the ears of Princess Jiaceng.
These days, she had been searching for the whereabouts of Chen Bozong’s relief silver, which had vanished from the warehouse.
She couldn’t believe it and was convinced that Chen Bozong had secretly moved it.
But after so many days, there was still no breakthrough. Instead, she heard that Ruan Mian had grown food, which surprised her.
She looked at her maid and asked, "Is this news true? In such cold weather, could she really grow so much food?"
She had only heard that others’ crops had been frozen to death, and recently, they had spent a lot of Silver buying grain.
The maid quickly nodded, confirming, "Indeed! Your Highness, your unique perspective knew early on that Miss Ruan was remarkable. She’s managed to grow crops when others couldn’t, surely there’s sothing extra at play!"
"How about... I reckon Miss Ruan could also deduce the whereabouts of the relief silver, maybe she hasn’t tried her best before!"
The Commandery Princess narrowed her eyes slightly, snorting: "Just a re convict woman, daring to deceive seeing as I have shown a few good graces?"
"She possesses such extraordinary skills, yet she can’t even figure out the whereabouts of so Silver?"
"I’ll personally visit her today. Regardless, I must invite this ’expert’ over to find the Silver first."
If all those Silver Taels were found, they would be hers privately.
Returning to the territory, she wouldn’t need to rely on anyone, doing whatever she wanted! Wouldn’t that be delightful?
If anyone from above inquired, with Chen Bozong as the scapegoat, she wouldn’t need to worry at all.
Thinking about this, she imdiately ordered her maid to prepare the carriage and headed to Jinsha Village. anwhile, Ruan Mian suddenly received a ssage from the birds and beasts.
They had finally found the whereabouts of her brother!
However, the direction indicated by the birds and beasts was in the direction of Runing City.
At this mont, her aunt was in the house, curious when she saw the indication by the birds and beasts: "Is there news of Song’er?"
When Ruan Mian said it might be in Runing City, her aunt was greatly shocked!
"How could he be in Runing? Didn’t he head to Xingjia State to find you? Xingjia State and Runing City are completely different directions."
In her confusion, she suddenly rembered sothing: "But this is also good. Anyway, you were planning to go to Runing to deal with that Wen person these days! With Song’er there, it would be easier for us to find him!"
"Mianmian, I’ve already arranged the business in the garrison. These days, I’ll go to Runing with you."
Ruan Mian hadn’t expected the news of her brother to co so suddenly.
She dared not delay for a mont and was preparing to depart imdiately.
Unexpectedly, at this ti, the seventh-rank official ca to Jinsha Village with a large contingent.
It seed he had heard about the crops being grown.
Having learned from past experiences, he was clearly prepared this ti, bringing along fifty to sixty governnt officers, not to ntion several other small officials.
They gathered outside the greenhouse, staring at the glass-built greenhouses, dumbfounded.
The robust crops inside the greenhouse exceeded everyone’s expectations.
The seventh-rank official furrowed his brows tightly, wearing a look of disbelief.
He truly hadn’t expected her to grow crops in such cold weather! Wasn’t this a slap on his face!!
While he was pondering, Ruan Mian ca forward, politely greeting: "Sir, you have co at the right ti."
"We have grown the crops as promised, so we hope you will keep your word and have your people contribute to our planting efforts."
The villagers felt a sense of release, each looking over proudly.
But the seventh-rank official did not acknowledge it at all, and instead, pompously said a few words.
"Miss Ruan, your village indeed has so abilities."
"Since you’ve grown crops, it’s indeed a ritorious deed! However, the fact that you’ve managed to grow food is also thanks to the opportunity I provided. Naturally, I represent all the people of Wuheng and have given you this opportunity."
"Since you can grow crops in this weather, it ans that even the heavens want you to use this to give back to the people of Wuheng."
"You see, the people of Wuheng are already facing a famine, and as part of this community, having grown crops, you should not stand idly by. You should, with a benevolent heart of utmost rit, donate the grown crops to all the people of Wuheng."
